Sometimes you have to get out and do some bank fishing for bass, and there's no one I'd rather take than this little dude! I love getting back to my roots and expanding my horizons to different types of fishing...hopefully you guys can get out and try this at your local lakes. Remember, TAKE A KID FISHING. It may change their lives, but at the very least, you will create memories that neither of you will ever forget.

The quality time with little man is everything. This was 4 years ago your boys probably gettin big now. Hope he still loves fishing with dad
“Wonder why my bobbers keep coming off”... as he only puts the line through the bottom of it
Mll yg.j@'o
Big F
Oh shit
I was gonna say he probably doesnt fish with bobbers often huh lol
Being a father myself, fishing with your son is always a good video to watch. Keep it up!
Real shit man being there for your kid! And getting him in fishing keeping him out of trouble! Thats the way to do bruh
Yes, I also mean like you...
🤣💀🤦♂️
Love the videos with Max! Wife is due in September with my new fishing buddy. Can't wait to make memories with him like you do with Max.
Congrats man
How's it been?
Awesome to see you getting the little man out! My boy is 5 and asks me every time I have him "so dad when we going fishing, dad are we goin fishin today or what"? Definitely proud dad moments seeing them having a good time! Enjoying your videos!
Love it!!! Awesome way to catch em
Thanks man!
Hi lojo u where the first fishing youtuber i watched
MAX IS A BEAST DUDE!!! KEEP TAKING HIM FISHING! KIDS NEED TO LEARN FISHING IS AMAZINGLY FUN!!
Max was slaying it! I was dying with the dab at the end. Awesome!
BY FAR BEST FISHING CHANNEL PERIOD..
My wifes account was signed in for the comment below. Been watching you for while trying to improve my bass game. Thought this bluegill vid would be fun to try this morning at a local spot ive nailed some 3-5lb bass. First try and ended up nailing a 7lb catfish instead but had other bites so definitley fun and got snagged alot less since the bait gets itself out of the rocks. Cant wait to see more vids!

"The perfect amount of half deadness" lmaooo idk why i laughed😂 so hard
Colton gibbs let me squeeze its head ha ha
And it worked!!!😂
kinda messed up lol, wouldn't u want ur fish to be active anyway???
Man....I love you're commentary and your father figure-ing!!! Awesome video!!!
In my head I don’t understand how Max and say Lojos son aren’t constantly out bass fishing and seemingly don’t know how to use a baitcaster... is max using a spin caster lol , Ben come on brother go teach that boy your ways.
It would be super cool if once a month you took him out and taught him, and tried to help him beat his PB. It could be a series!
Yo. I catch a lot of fish on my spincaster!
Guys, here is a top secret that I don't make any videos about because people know which pressured ponds I fish but the way I fish them makes it 10 times easier. Do you live by a pond where you can see the bass all the time but they just will not hit your lures? What you need to do is tie on a dropshot, and catch some baitfish out of that pond that they eat. Then, rig the bait on the dropshot on the hook by going in the mouth and through the roof of the mouth, then simply fish. The bait will tell you when a predator is around because you will feel him trying to get away. then you will feel the bass swimming away. then set the hook haha it's the best way I've found to fish pressured ponds, it works best if you can fish off of a bridge or gazebo and watch. It's really money
Team Wagy thank I will try that because the pond I go to isn't pressured but you can see them eating bluegill
oh... I do this all the time...
I know what you mean, the bait will let you know if hes about to get chomped. Ive had some crazy topwater blow ups where my bluegill or shiner will go straight to surface, do a little splash then BAM topwater explosion. Or like you said they will suddenly get super active underneath then shortly after your line will start running. Ive recently gotten hooked on live bait fishing because of the action ive had. Im 33 and fished artificial since i was 12 or so up until about a month ago. Only time i fish artificial now is when im throwing casts between catching fish on live bait 😂
congrats on your 20k subscribers!!!I have a feeling your channel is fixen to erupt!I like the change-up with the live bluegill fishing.nice job.
As a gamer like my self there’s nothing better then seeing kids out here fishing I been taking a break from Games and just fishing it’s do relaxing in the morning😊
Bro loved this video!!!!! You're definitely my favorite channel to watch! Come to Minnesota drink some beer and come bass fishin!
Great parenting is 100% fishing , father and son I don’t care what anyone says , great channel keep up the good work man
Not only was this a great vid, but it also taught me everything i needed to know in order to fish like this which i was wanting to do. I am subbed now btw, great content!
Milliken, I know you've been doing this for years but down here we have a 9,10,12 and a 14 on the wall from live bluegills. Instead of setting as soon as the bobber goes under, wait and let the fish run for 30 yards then set.
The terrible idea it'll swallow the hook by then
@@Eiangames never happens. And we let them swim with it for up to a minute and a half.
@@MGFishin had them nearly get that hook after I left them swim with it for only like 10 seconds
"Rip its face off!" ~Max
Hilarious 😂
Awesome to see father and kid bonding. More of these.
Another good one man. Great day with the kid. It's what makes the world go round. Keep em coming.
I agree with Clayton Brown, if you attach the line to both ends of the bobber there is a less chance that the bomber will come of when you set the hook.
Dude finally someone that talks about their set up great video
You should hook the clip on the top of the bobber too, not just the bottom like you were. Push down the little red top to expose just the hook at the top. Do both hooks and you won't lose a single bobber. But awesome video- love seeing the joy in your sons eye while fishing too!
"Why do my bobbers keep comin off?"
You're only using the bottom hook lmao. That's like asking how come your tires keep falling off when you only use 1 lug.
I love your vids bro. Your personality is perfect. I feel the amount that you tune down is just right. It has just the right amount of edge. Keep up the great work and let me know if you're ever in northern NJ. I'd love to treat you to some super quality bourbon while chillin on a bank lookin for slaunches
PS grats on 20k subs. Record timing man! I was here since 3k-ish
Great video! Loved seeing you and Mad Max rippin lips old school. Love the dab Max!!
My buddy at work was JUST Talking about doing this after work for Cats and Northern. LoL Love the Vid. Keep em comin.
Fantastic video. My 11yr old and 8yr old are now MF fans and think your son is the man. All they talk about with their friends now are Jake & Logan Paul, and Milliken. So funny.
Really good video for guys like us to share with our kids. Keep up the great content.
I was fishing for little bluegills, much like you were, with a little dock demon deluxe, and a 4 lbs bass CRUSHED it. It is currently my PB
Any day you can be on the lake and bonus have your kids with you is a huge joy and blessing.
Love these live bait videos
It was definitely something I hadn't done in a while and I seriously loved it.
Nice fishing with the kid brotha!!
What do they say? Always take a kid fishing? Well done my friend! Looks like you and Max had a blast!
6:29 That bas hit harder than my mom's belt
bass*
Your moms belt? Lol
underrated comment
I feel like nobody goes fishing with bluegill but u did it so thanks.
Love it brother
Fished blue gill perch with bobber for years. Had a lot of luck but stumbled on a better way to fish the perch. Take the perch dorsal fin up stick him in the head to kill. Now hook him like a minnow through the back no bobber no weight. Cast in areas you might throw a worm around edges and drop offs. Be sure to push release button if you set your rod down. If you don't get a bite after a few minutes cast and reel on top of water to atrack attention and stop and let him slowly sink. I have caught several big bass doing this a lot more successful than cork. Mostly I fish farm ponds. Good fishing everyone!!!!!!!
Hey man just a tip you prob already know but just in case! But you’re bobbers keep coming off because you’re only putting it on with one of the notches there is another one on top to secure it on the line. Just noticed and hoped it helped!
You are a cool daddy. That is the way I treat my kid. Good fishing Bro!
The best video yet! If you don't have a child you don't understand. Sometimes I have more fun watching them catch fish. Keep the great videos coming!
You're absolutely right. Thanks a ton!
Royall577 go
My child is a 25 year-old girl who loves to catch fish. The only thing she likes more is out-fishing her old man. I've made sure that she catches more and bigger fish than me lots of times and whenever she does, I whine like a little bitch, and she loves it!
Fishing on my Birthday here. Nice fish. I have 3 grandsons to take fishing one day, but 2 of them live 8 hours away and the other is only 3 right now. One day it will happen.
I use 4 inch gills but, I hook mine just under the skin in the neck, my lake doesn't have many bass in your size range (small) has a bunch of finicky large bass in the range of 3 to 7 1/2 pound beasts. Tried hooking them in the tail, had more stolen gills than caught largies so that's why I hook them the way I do. I lost a lot of floats when I only "single" attached them, maybe it is because I use 20 lb. Spider Stealth braid. I fish in heavy weed pockets and the braid cuts weeds like a lawnmower instead of piling on the fish. Now I hook my line on both ends of my 2" float, no more lost floats.
Keep it up man!!! Your doin a good job. Liking your videos. Takes a lot to do this full time. I wish the best. Keep the videos coming I'll keep watching and smashing the like button!!!!
I was fishing at the Saguaro Lake here in Arizona yesterday, and I saw a dad and his son fishing. When he said his son's name, which is also Max, I immediately looked over expecting to see you. hahaha, but of course I didn't.
Awesome video, my boy looks forward to our fishing trips and we always have fun. Keep the good work.
You’ve done a great job bonding with your son, whether you catch anything of not. Good Dad, aarf.
Love to see you out whit your sun an doing things i did when i was younger
Great video.Just love when the kids get to catch some fish too
Awesome Max with the photo bomb at the ending .
The best dad and son video
Love watching your subscribers climb buddy. I'm up near Lake Champlain actually 20 minutes from the elite series launch this weekend. May post some Video, Happy for you, Glad its all coming together.
i’ve never thought about using live bluegills for bait, but after seeing this... i’m definitely gonna give it a try this spring/summer. I really only fish ponds, and the ponds I fish are so overrun with bluegill it’s starting to stunt their growth and shit. the owner won’t let you keep any, so I might as well use em as bait.
It's kind of cool, you took me fishing at this lake when we went to IWCC back in 09-10. I feel cool I got to fish with you way before there were any MF'ers!!
Great video brother! I love taking my kids fishing. It’s so much better to see them slay the fish. Good job brother!
Love seeing kids fish!
That's fun, kid's day. Nice work.
I love using lures but live bait seems to work more of the time
Awsome man! Great dad, son moment! Fish on and good luck with your career move!!
I love using bluegill for bass bait, i found if i scale one side the bluegill appears injured which usually makes for a faster bite
Blue gill is my fav catfish bait tbh. I used a bluegill and caught my pb blue catfish on a kayak. It was 16.31 lbs. and I don't catfish fish much nor kayak fish so that was the full experience
Good stuff man. Quality time 🇺🇸
That neature walk reference was on point. Kudos to you.
Nice change of pace....always a good thing to take a kid fishing...well done mfr
Awesome video with your boy.. The frog catch and cook too.
Good job my man, any one that takes their kids fishing is all right with me. Good fishing and keep your lines tight m
Max is a certified slayer
I wish you were my dad. My dad didn't really know how to do anything but work. There's more to life than that.
You should get the orange foam Bobbers from Walmart. They won't crack and sink. Love the content👍
There's a pond in TN where my bro lives where one of the only ways to get the big ones to bite is to do this technique. Saw a guy land a 4 and a 5 one day doing this. Nice to see Slaunch Hunter Jr. (aka Max) out there with you. I have 2 kids and they will be fishing soon too. Nice vid!
He's doing better than I have been doing since I started fishing again with that one fish he caught.
Haha, great meeting you that day Ben. Didnt expect to be in the video. Good stuff buddy.
Im famous now lol
Good job taking a kid out for fishing. Keep going man. Best regards from argentina
Max is a cool little dude!
Love the use of slaunchy
You kept losing your bobbers because you only hooked the line onto one catch, unless there's some method to your madness of only hooking your line to one catch instead of both. In which case, I'd like to hear about it (well maybe... you did keep losing them ;)!
i realize Im kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Demetrius Jaylen I watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Brayan Lucca yup, I've been using FlixZone for years myself :)
@Brayan Lucca Thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!!
@Demetrius Jaylen happy to help :)
There is nothing better than taking your child fishing! Thank you for the video!
You changed my life many thanks!
"Okay, so that is not a bite...
That is a stupid bluegill"
I lost it XD
A good time! Good for Max!
I like that drone footage. Good video!
If there hittin blue gill , try xlarge shiners . I live well shiners for Mo.s at a time and ad much yellow food color , it turns em gold . Kind of much work for Mins. on the hook .
Your very welcome love the guy coming up and mentioned the flair lol
You're the man Dwayne.
Great Dad keep up the good work bud!
Nice opening tunes!!! Thanks for the vid 👍👍
that drone footage is awesome..... great day with the kid
Digging the videos man. Keep it up, gonna love seeing your channel grow! If you're ever in NC let me know and we'll get on some big catfish!
Awesome video man as usual
Ok I just read the comments and saw you got it already. Like I said.... later than late. Lol. Great videos! 🎣🎣🎣
I live in Millard I've been to that lake and caught good fish
Being watching you for while trying to improve my bass game. Thought this bluegill vid would be fun to try this morning at a local spot ive nailed some 3-5lb bass. First try and ended up nailing a 7lb catfish instead but had other bites so definitley fun and got snagged alot less since the bait gets itself out of the rocks. Cant wait to see more vids!
I use 3 to 4 inch bluegill and it typically Catch-22 4lb bass I like to cut the tail off makes them less maneuverable and they just kind of vibrate around in the water and the bass can't resist
"Replaced the Kmart line with 65 pound braid" spits drink out " then tighten drag to 100, we don't do drag in this house" spits drink out again.
I'm all for watching ads and clicking on them to help support great content creators like yourself- but FYI- I had to SKIP the ad before this video- it was a 30 MINUTE so called "AD" of some cartoon- 30 minutes- CRAZY..
I'lll double click the ads next time!! Keep up the great work!
Awesome video bud love my fishing time with my daughters
Throwing shade at flair. I like it
Haha it was all in good fun...and I loved it.
